LXA

What LXA does

LXA (legal entity: MARTECH ALLIANCE LIMITED, Company Number 10679461) is a London-headquartered education and events group founded in 2017 that delivers marketing and technology capability development for global enterprise marketing teams and individual practitioners. Its flagship offering is an Intelligence-as-a-Service (IntaaS) platform that diagnoses marketing capability gaps and uses generative AI to produce organization-specific learning content at speed, combining client organizational knowledge with LXA's proprietary market intelligence (including annual research surveys such as the State of B2B Martech & Revenue Operations 2026 with n=201 senior leaders and the State of Data-Driven Marketing report with n=400 CMOs).

The company monetizes through four streams: an annual All Access Learning Pass subscription bundling MBA-style programs, workshops, research and event access; bespoke corporate capability programs and workshops delivered via field sales; event tickets and sponsorships across the flagship AntiCon anti-conference, the Agentic AI Marketing Summit, CMO Summit and Leaders Dinners; and self-serve individual course enrollment (AI Marketing, ABM, Data & Analytics, CX & Omnichannel, Martech, Marketing Operations, Digital Marketing, Sales Enablement). The platform layer is built on HubSpot for marketing automation and CRM, Bizzabo/Eventbrite/Zoom for event delivery, Stripe for payments, and Shopify for course commerce — a conventional SaaS stack rather than proprietary infrastructure.

Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for capability programs at large global marketing organizations (named users include Coca-Cola, Lego, Meta, Amazon, Adidas, L'Oreal, Uber, HSBC, Shell, 3M, Microsoft and McKinsey), event-led demand generation via a claimed community of over 200,000 marketing, sales and technology professionals, and self-serve online enrollment for individuals. CEO and founder Carlos Doughty leads the company, which is described by its own job postings as an 8-year-old business entering a 'critical growth phase'; the group structure spans the LXA education brand, the AntiCon event sub-brand, and the IntaaS product narrative. No funding rounds, AI patents, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source data.
